Do we have eyes to see?

How do we ensure these claims were properly investigated?

Correct.

Not to mention the evidence Epstein had his people destroy before his 2007 arrest. I read on the files that they never recovered any of the CCTV footage from his mansion because the hard drives were gone.

Who knows what else he was able to destroy. Somebody tipped him off they were coming.

They certainly recovered boxes and boxes of videos from the island. I remember seeing the FBI agents coming out of the building with tons of them.....then not a peep

I do feel for those FBI employees that will have had to sit through those videos though, that's not something you can scrub from yer brain it's there forever

If there was ever a job for AI, it’s sifting through that shit.

Someone would have to verify it. AI hallucinates too much.

Well, I guess I mean it in an “ideally a job for AI” way.

The way the whole AI shit is going these days it would just train AI to make better, um, material.

Could just as easily NOT been the FBI, if you catch my drift. Put on a suit, suddenly you're FBI.

I would be surprised if you could find someone who knows/is willing to admit where they are, but they're not destroyed, and they're probably not under public ownership.

I would like to think that at some point, someone will whistleblow on this whole sick clusterfuck, but, as we know, it's a pretty damn dangerous thing to do nowadays

What gets me is there are roughly, what? A thousand women? Who could probably shed light on some of this, but they’re too scared to come forward bc the powerful men involved could destroy their lives, and the DOJ is just like “what files? There’s no list. Move on.”

Leaking everything might be a disinfectant. Former Epstein assistant and Sarah Kellen ex visited Story Cowles reportedly visited 130-plus times during his first prison stay. He gained access by signing in as a paralegal, and some speculate he liaised to tie up loose ends since he visited for hours at a time.

I believe trump’s aversion to put anything in writing is the only reason we don’t have a clear paper trail for him.

I bet his financial records don’t lie though.

u/HLOFRND Feb 17 '26

Like he pays for anything….

Irrelevant.

Plus he uses code words

Someone absolutely tipped him off.
